Codes and Ordinances

Composting Ordinances

This table serves as a quick reference for composting ordinances in the St. Louis region. This content was made possible by funding provided by the St. Louis-Jefferson Solid Waste Management District and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. 

The Institute for Local Government  has prepared Model Goals, Policies, Zoning and Development Standards for Composting and Remanufacturing Facilities. The sample goals and policies in this report are intended to provide guidance for city and county planners who are updating their general plans and want to address composting, anaerobic digestion, recycled content product manufacturing (RCP) and intermediate processing operations.
